She has a picky eater in the house and wants some easy crock pot meals. I only included vegetarian and chicken recipes in this collection, and I focused on main dishes, with the inclusion of one side dish (because it looks so yummy!).

    I have recently bought a slow cooker so I’m very keen to try some of these. The only thing I’ve used it for so far is to make stock!

    We love our slow cooker too. We mostly use it for casseroles and curries (Thai, Indian, Malaysian) but it’s also handy for making chicken stock from the leftover carcass of a roast chicken dinner, and we also do jacket potatoes (what Americans call baked potatoes) in it. Such a fab appliance!
